State Assessments

The NHTSA National Driver Register and Traffic Records Team manages the Traffic Records Assessment process.  It is a technical assistance tool that NHTSA/FHWA/FMCSA offer to state offices of highway safety to allow management to review the traffic records program.  Their support of this process includes the formation of assessment teams representing people from throughout the United States who have extensive knowledge about traffic safety data systems.  These teams spend a week interviewing the various stakeholders, data managers, and users within a state. A confidential assessment is prepared of how well the state data systems meet the guidelines contained in the Traffic Records System Advisory,  the state's traffic records strengths and accomplishments are noted, and suggestions where improvements can be made are offered.  The link below should assist you in learning more about the assessment process.
